3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy can be utilized for off-road trails and to tackle terrain from uneven paths or tracks in woodlands. They are also more easy to maneuver around kerbs than 4-wheel models.

MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and 3 year old daughter, putting it through its paces on the asphalt and on the muddy ground. You can read her full review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, which have their centre of gravity balancing by your child's weight within the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean the three-wheel buggie isn't worth considering, as the majority of these models are made to handle everything from rough terrain to bustling high-streets.

Choose a buggy that has large rear wheels, and one that locks on the front. This will make it more comfortable to drive and less likely to fall apart on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires that are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They can be used on sandy beaches or tracks through woodlands.

They are also great buggies to jog with because they provide great stability on more rough terrain and aid you in staying with your running partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs and many come with a spring suspension built-in so that your baby can enjoy a smooth ride.

A stroller with three wheels can be a challenge to maneuver due to its large frame. It can be more difficult to maneuver through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this issue with clever design that turns the wheels upside down when they are not being used. This reduces their size and makes them easier to squeeze through doors.

You'll also need to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your little one from birth, or if you're planning on using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. Check if the buggy has an option to lie flat and if it's compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you intend to bring a toddler along.

Certain 3 wheeled travel system-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel in order to fold into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies generally provide better maneuverability than pushchairs with four wheels. They typically come with a swivelling front wheel which allows you to shift direction quickly and steer with just one hand. Some also have a lockable front wheel that can provide security on more difficult terrain. Some models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, if you plan to expand your family.

If you are planning to take your three-wheeled buggies off the paved roads then you should opt for one that has pneumatic tyres. They can handle even the most difficult terrain. These tyres may need to be filled from time to intervals, but they'll be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. You should choose one with an adjustable front wheel that is locked to assist you in navigating difficult surfaces.

The fact that there is only one front wheel could mean that three-wheelers tend to be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Make sure the model you choose fits inside your car's boot and can be set up in a straight line if needed. Certain models can be folded using one hand and can be rearranged when folded. This can save space in a small car boot.

It is also able to be adapted to fit babies as young as a lie-flat seat or carry cot, as well as being compatible with most popular second seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric sling and a modular seat is that the fabric sling is placed comfortably inside the frame of the buggy instead of being positioned on top like a modular seat would. This allows for a more ergonomically correct position of the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity, which is just the right height. This translates into an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't need the same amount of effort and weight to push the buggy over the nose of a curb) and a better balance and stability.

The sling fabric used in these kinds of buggy seats are also extremely durable and easy to clean. These fabrics were specifically designed for sling chairs and are extremely UV resistant and breathable. They are also easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water.
